Let Hiura pinch hit for Rowdy and let there be a competition at first base. 

Jon Singleton with two HR already in Nashville ?

Good job Rowdy but to be fair I thought Norris was coming in.

Hooray, Rowdy!

Hiura will get his shot, but he's gonna have to earn it, slowly, after the last couple years. They aren't going to hand anything to him. Tellez was MUCH better than Keston last year, so Keston has a lot of ground to make up.

I'm fine with that but Rowdy hasn't cemented himself into the spot.

Also hasn't gone anything to lose it. In fact, after basically being the only offense against the Braves last fall, his leash is probably longer than you think.

[brewers888]

At least we scored today.

Hey, a Daniel Norris sighting! 

I fully expect him to look good.

Dang it ... what happened to the @OldTakesExposed juju?

You sure do seem to hate a team that won 90+ games last year.

Norris did better in that inning than any inning he had for us as a Brewer.

I love the pitching but think the offense is atrocious.

[edfunderburk]

I’m already disappointed in our offense 

Hendricks is hard to watch - off speed & all over the map

Frustrating opener so far

[adambr2]

Great job infield defense. 

[owbc]

By historical standards this is a pretty bad offense but in modern day MLB it's probably league average. Get runners on and hope that somebody eventually gets ahold of one. That's how it works these days. 

[kalle8]

Really like Caratini’s fist pump on that last strike from Ashby!

[owbc]

This is looking more like the Norris we are used to. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

here's your shot Brewers....let's get a hit here Wong!

These are both hot takes.

[HarryDoyle]

Back from work now. I'm your god luck charm. Let's get some runs Adames.

Slightly above 6-tenths of 1 percent of the season will have been completed after today's game.  We still have approximately 99.4% of the season left after today unless COVID or Famine or War or something else interferes with this season.

Way to go, Willy Adames!

[owbc]

There's our MVP. 

[owbc]

Not exactly a rocket from Yelich but it was enough. 

[HarryDoyle]

You're welcome.

[homer]

Go back to Coldplay, Martin!

 

...is what I'd yell if I was at the game and drunk

[liveforoctober]

Golly, that is a tough ball to tag on. Happ must have had a tough read on that because you shouldn't score on that ball.

Also, kind of a gross at bat from Yelich, Got him in though.

[adambr2]

Corbin off the hook.
